1) Bees help flowering plants reproduce. When the bees visit flowers they help the flowers reproduce. The bees visit the flowers in order to get food (nectar), but not in order to help the plants reproduce.
Describe the symbiotic relationship, and explain how your answer relates to the bee and the flower. (3 points)

2) Name 3 organelles (.4 each), state their function (.3 each), and tell whether they are found in animal or plant cells or both animal and plant cells. (.3 each)

3) You have a microscope with an ocular lens magnification of x20, a scanning lens of x2, a low power lens of x10 and a high power lens of x20. What is the total magnification if you use the lowest power lens? (2 points total)

4) What is a structural difference between fungi and plants? Name one structure that fungi have, but plants do not. (1 point) Name one structure that plants have, but fungi do not. (1 points)
